Comparison is descriptive and historical. Highlights mark the higher or lower value on a metric, not a better investment.

Methodology

How comparisons are computed

Definitions and known limitations.

Data and timing

Every figure is a monthly, point-in-time value: fundamentals join a month only 60 days after the quarter ends, so a month never shows a result that would not yet have been published. The numbers are the same ones each company's own page shows.

Share price

Monthly closes, rebased to 100 at the first month every company in the comparison has a price. A company listed later moves the start of the chart for all of them.

Metrics over time

Months with a missing value are left as gaps. On a log scale, equal vertical distances are equal ratios, and months with a non-positive value are gaps too. Revenue is indexed to 100 at the first month every company has a positive figure.

Where the return came from

Price = P/E × net profit ÷ share count, so a price return splits into percentage points from net profit growth, share count change and the change in P/E. It is not shown for a company whose earnings were negative at one end of the window.

Rank within sector

Each cell is the company's percentile rank among its own sector's companies that month. Rows marked ↓ are inverted: lower debt, a shorter cash cycle and a lower P/E rank higher. Ranks use today's listed companies in the sector and need at least 5 peers with a value. Banks and financial companies are ranked on a different set of metrics, so their blocks show different rows.

Highlights

A highlight marks the higher value, or the lower value for P/E, P/B, P/S, debt, working-capital days, share count change and volatility. It marks a number, not a better investment. P/E, P/B and P/S only count when positive.
